Produce BA to P, such that AP=AC and join P to C.

\frac{BD }{CD} = \frac{AB}{AC}         (Given )

\Rightarrow \frac{BD }{CD} = \frac{AP}{AC}

Using converse of Thales theorem,

AD||PC \Rightarrow \angle BAD=\angle APC............1(Corresponding angles)

\Rightarrow \angle DAC=\angle ACP............2           (Alternate angles)

By construction,

AP=AC

\Rightarrow \angle APC=\angle ACP............3

From equation 1,2,3, we get

\Rightarrow \angle BAD=\angle APC

Thus, AD bisects angle BAC.
